Chapter 746 Catch Them All in One Go
Time was ticking away, and at first, the masked man was feeling pretty confident. But as the minutes dragged on, he started getting antsy.
It had been ages already. Why hadn't he gotten a call?
There was only one explanation: his carefully planned fake Pearl had flopped.
This meant his true identity and even his hideout might be exposed. If Oscar brought people to find him, it would all be over.
"Pearl, you and Oscar must be pretty tight, huh? Otherwise, how could he have known that woman wasn't you?" the masked man turned his gaze to Pearl.
Even though the plan had failed, it didn't matter.
The masked man thought that he still had Pearl, after all.
She was his ace in the hole. Neither Oscar nor Louis would let anything happen to her.
With such a valuable hostage, no one would dare to mess with the masked man.
The masked man then walked over to Pearl and yanked off his mask, revealing an unremarkable face. "The bet is over, and I lost. According to our agreement, I can show you my face. But there's one more thing you should know: everyone who sees my face dies!"
He pulled a syringe from his bag, intending to drug Pearl as he had before.
Under the influence of the drug, Pearl would be completely helpless, at his mercy.
But in the next moment, Pearl broke free from her restraints.
She swiftly grabbed the syringe and plunged it into the masked man's shoulder, pushing the plunger down hard. A large dose of the drug entered the masked man's body instantly.
He was stunned. "How is this possible?"
He had tied Pearl up so tightly, and she was just a woman. How could she have such strength?
"The tables have turned. Now you're my hostage," Pearl said, not bothering to answer his question.
Let him take that question to the grave.
She controlled the masked man and took the gun from his waist, pointing it at his head. "The Shadow Organization is yours, right? You're their leader. But in front of a bullet, everyone is equal. If you don't want me to pull the trigger, you'd better behave."
The masked man's face turned ashen.
He had threatened countless people in his life, his hands stained with blood, but this was the first time he was being threatened.
But under the influence of the drug, he could do nothing but watch as Pearl pushed him outside.
Outside, the place was surrounded by mercenaries and Eldorian soldiers.
Even with all his power, Oscar couldn't command the Eldorian's army. That would require Louis's intervention.
But Louis had flown to Willow Creek, and RavenWing was sick. That was his father; how could he leave?
"Idiot, you're useless now," Pearl said, kicking the masked man to the ground.
She didn't want to dirty her hands by killing him, but this man had committed countless crimes and would face the punishment he deserved.
Soon, the entire Shadow Organization was taken down, including the fake Pearl.
Pearl walked up to her and examined her closely. "She does look a lot like me."
"No, I knew right away she wasn't you," Oscar said, taking Pearl's hand.
In the presence of a loved one, even the smallest differences were obvious.
The two exchanged a smile.
After they dealt with the Shadow Organization, they prepared to fly back. On the way to the airport, Oscar received a call from Clarence. "Mr. Brown, I need to take the day off to attend Nathaniel's engagement party," Clarence said.
Hearing this, Oscar granted the leave without hesitation.What they didn't know was that Nathaniel had someone he loved but couldn't have.
Someone he had loved in his youth and hated for life.
"Nathaniel, please, not here." Saskia Fuller was pressed against a narrow vanity, her voice trembling with desperate pleas.
Nathaniel had her trapped in his arms, and with his relentless pressure, she had no way to escape.
Her words did nothing to deter him. Nathaniel's eyes blazed with fierce intensity. "So now you know how to beg? Where was this when I was begging you?" he pressed.
Saskia's throat tightened, her heart aching. She said, "Nathaniel, I wronged you before, but my sister is innocent. She's outside."
Today was her sister Azalea Fuller's engagement party.
Azalea was outside, dressed in a wedding gown, greeting guests.
However, here Saskia was, being humiliated by Azalea's fiancé!
Fear and guilt washed over Saskia like a tidal wave.
She trembled all over.
Nathaniel, however, was exhilarated. He said, "Saskia, you're scared? I thought you feared nothing!"
How could she not be scared?
Nathaniel was her sister's fiancé!
Saskia tried to resist, but Nathaniel held her down, forcing her into humiliating positions, even pressing her against the mirror.
The scene played out vividly before her eyes, her face pale. "Nathaniel, do you want me dead to satisfy your hatred?" she asked.
She knew she had hurt him four years ago, and that was why he hated her deeply.
"Dead?" Nathaniel sneered, his eyes cold and venomous. "Death is too easy for you, Saskia. I want you to live in misery!"
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
Azalea's voice came from outside. "Saskia, are you in there?"
Saskia's heart raced at Azalea's words, her back chilled, and her whole body felt as if it had been plunged into an icy abyss. She didn't dare make a sound.
But the next second, Nathaniel, with a vengeful grin, dragged her to the door.
He then pressed her from behind, and Saskia realized Azalea was trying to push the door open.
If Azalea couldn't open it, she would get suspicious.
She might call for help, and then Saskia and Nathaniel would be exposed.
Before Saskia could do anything, Nathaniel whispered in her ear. "Saskia, if you agree to be my lover, I'll let you go now."
Four years ago, they couldn't be together.
Four years later, he was Azalea's fiancé. How could they be together?
But the force on the door was growing stronger.
Yet Nathaniel had no intention of letting her go.
In this situation, she had no choice.
"Okay." Saskia's voice trembled.
The next second, Nathaniel released her.
Just as the door was about to be forced open, Saskia quickly adjusted her clothes and opened the door.
Azalea looked at Saskia, worried. "Saskia, you scared me! I thought something happened to you!"
She hadn't seen Saskia for a while and couldn't reach her by phone.
When she heard someone say Saskia had gone to the restroom, Azalea knocked on the door but got no response, so she panicked.
At this, Saskia made an excuse. "I was in the bathroom. My stomach was upset."
It was the only explanation for why she hadn't opened the door despite the knocking and attempts to force it open.
"What?" Azalea grabbed her hand. "Saskia, you should go to the hospital. I'll call George." As she spoke, Azalea pulled out her phone.
But the next second, Nathaniel's phone rang inside the room.
